I almost hate to share a review because I don't want too many others finding out about this place! For those looking for a beautiful environment to camp in, look no further. Stocked lakes, multiple trails through the dune forest, waterfowl. otters, many other critters. And best of all, NO RV HOOKUPS! Mainly tent campers or small, unplugged vans or trailers.
The off season rules. I arrived on a chilly day with sprinkles. It turned into magnificent sunshine and 58 degrees in January. Star filled skies at night. A little road noise from HWY 101 but not terrible. And in two nights of camping, I saw one other camper in the entire campground. Perfect!

Mostly quiet campground, good separation between sites, some road noise which can't be totally avoided. Pit toilets not great and they need to be on top of providing hand sanitizer in the wall dispensers (out the entire time I was there). Have been here many times over the years, always a pleasant experience and not far from Florence if you need to pop into town for anything.

What a wonderful time again, year 3 In campsite #6! Across the bridge and up 10 steps to the Treehouse, which is what I call the site. Hopefully next year finds me here again among the trees! Preston and Olivia were the perfect hosts at Alder Dune this year. What wonderful people! Thank you for a great camping experience once again!!

Most of the sites are fairly private thanks to good design and foliage preservation.
Mosquitoes are present but not overwhelming.
The sound of the cars on the highway and odd animal sounds (frogs?) take some getting used to.
Don't bother to hike toward the coast if your goal is a beach. The trails don't go there but they are still a nice hike.

My husband & I love this campground. Peaceful with lots of vegetation. The lakes are stocked with trout, there are pleasant trails through the forest and dunes, the birdsong is wonderful, and the outhouses are very clean.
